Summary
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, the legendary “Big Bull” of Dalal Street, built his reputation through conviction and contrarian investing. A standout example came in 1989, when widespread fears of an anti-business Union Budget triggered panic selling. At just 29, Jhunjhunwala bet against the prevailing sentiment, believing VP Singh’s government would take a pragmatic, growth-oriented approach.
